A sign directing patrons to the parking meter may clear up con¬ fusion conceming the new park¬ ing on the west side of the recently renovated Mattress Factory building, according to Sandy Boyle, Vice Chancellor for Finance and Administration.
After six weeks of giving out warnings to individuals who use the new parking without paying, campus officials began issuing parking tickets on Feb. 23, 2004.
"Twenty tickets were issued since Monday, most of them to individauls who received multi¬ ple warnings," Boyle said, four days after ticketing began. "The stalls are numbered and there are signs saying you must pay in advance."
Individuals using the new stalls may not realize that the area is part of the original lot next to the campus library. The sidewalk, plus the row of light poles running through the old and new areas, apparently decieve patrons into thinking the new stalls are free.
"I haven't been down here in a while, and I got all confused. I thought it might be free at first, but I didn't park there," said an anonymous UWT alumni. "Is that side free?" See Parking page 7
Personnel Committee for further review. The other bill that claimed Dodson modified a doc¬ ument was killed.
While a large group of stu¬ dents, faculty and staff attended the meeting to hear whether grounds for impeachment were met, only the Executive Committee was allowed to wit¬ ness the course of action taken on an issue that concemed students.
"I felt the Senate meeting was probably very confusing and dis¬ heartening to many of those who showed up," Senator Julia Sanders said. "I feel that stu¬ dents, an4otbeQ|; wbq came to partiglj^te or wjp|)r.;ifie'meeting lef^ "Idling almbst 1)ctrayed or scammed by the process."

Amador and members of the Senate moved to discuss the two impeachment bills in Executive Session.
Executive Session permits a select number of student govem¬ ment representatives to handle serious personnel issues and those representatives are not allowed to disclose any of that information outside of Executive Session.
"Student govemment had the opportunity to disprove the per¬ ception that it was an elitist oiganization but instead it chose to conduct its meeting behind close doors," UWT student Brent Biggs said.
Ehie to the state of affairs that included Dodson's impeachment, a public forum was set before the senate meeting and a sign-up
sheet was posted to permit those who wanted to address the ASUWT representatives and the public.
Due to constraints in the ASUWT bylaws, each person had a maximum of two minutes to speak in the public forum.
Amador opened the public fomm by saying the ASUWT constitution reads that the student govemment should represent the needs, interests and welfare of the student body and conmiunity at-large. She then added that the senators should think before they act and cautioned them to make sure they checked all their facts before making a decision.
